Hi! Today, I have another update regarding our new wikifarm, as I just finished preparing the remaining thumbnails, so the to do list is now as follows:


 * 1) Main hub wiki for the Super wiki farm
 * 2) *Needs a new logo (currently still has the Vajura Fight Zenki dummy logo) and includes various notes regarding work in progress content and other things, that Zenki mentioned before
 * 3) **The dummy pages are still there, but will be removed later, as they aren't needed anymore, but removing them right now isn't my top priority, as they don't do any harm being there for the time being
 * 4) **I still need to update the video infobox template, so you won't have blank entries for attributes, that don't apply to a specific video
 * 5) ***I also worked on this template's code to make it less loading intensive (it previously loaded the whole video, which caused the archive page to get very sluggish, but now, it uses the thumbnail and will soon also feature a video link instead)
 * 6) User rights and file lists
 * 7) *Good to go, just like Zenki said earlier
 * 8) User profiles
 * 9) *Done, but I still need to recheck them, if any were updated later (for example, I did some minor updates to my own one, so this still needs to be updated over at the new wikifarm as well)
 * 10) Video archives
 * 11) *See above and what Zenki said earlier
 * 12) Wiki dumps
 * 13) *Made new ones, so they are now all from July 17, 2019
 * 14) Testing stuff and taking notes, importing wikidumps
 * 15) *Like Zenki said
 * 16) *Also, the imports worked fine, except for this wiki here, which I needed to directly upload to our server to import, as it was to big (wikis have a file limit for uploads after all and weirdly, wiki imports apparently count as uploads, too! XD)
 * 17) Uh... Oh, right!
 * 18) *Like Zenki said
 * 19) *Also, I have noted these things down, so I won't forget and we can continue where we left off later
 * 20) Themes and Forums
 * 21) *Like Zenki said
 * 22) *We will likely use the forum extension, so we will have a proper forum again instead of a replacement
 * 23) *As for themes, I don't know which theme extension we are going to use, but that's not the most important thing right now, so we can give votes and think about that later

Alright. As you can see, I took Zenki's list and expanded a bit upon it.

Regarding the new logo, we had votes on making it modern (pretty much science fiction stiled with clean lines and a neon effect), making it a mashup of the different series' styles (colorful and possible with some pixelart of the characters climbing it) or even making it fuzzy (which was the original idea based on the old logo before the name change).

As for myself, I would do the logo in any style. Just give me some pokes at what you guys want, and I will draw a new logo for our wikifarm.


 * 1) Alright. So next up, I'll keep working on the video template and on uploading the new thumbnails to the wikifarm, as well as finishing the new video archives and updating some minor things.
 * 2) Once they are ready, I'll have a look at making the wikifarm an actual wikifarm.
 * 3) Once this is done, I'll have a look at the missing extensions and once these are good, it probably won't take long until I'll set the new wikifarm online.

I expect the first point in the list to take me some time, the second one, I can't tell, as I haven't installed multiple wikis on one server yet and the concept is new to me and as for the third point, if the extensions work fine, this one will be done very quickly and if they don't, I will take some time.

Setting the wikifarm online as the final step will probably take the least time, but the three things above needs to be done first, or else it will be an unfinished grid with stuff scattered all over the place.

Whoa! So much text! ^^'

But it's important, so... Oh, well... (shrugs)

In the meantime, I have also been updating the copyright for our KDZ Wikia logo and background, so I now have a 2019 and a 2020 version of it in stock, but as I don't know how long things will take until our new wikifarm goes online, I have been hesitant to upload one of these, as this might clash with the file list and mess up some things...

Anyways, I hope, that you are doing fine and wish you good health.

As for myself, I have been pretty busy with my job, but still got things going and worked on the wikifarm a bit. :)
